TCL Android TV Remote

Remote control for TCL televisions

TCL Android TV Remote turns an Android phone into a remote for compatible TCL televisions. It suits households that want a phone-based way to navigate the TV, adjust volume, change channels, mute sound, and control playback. The app is listed in the House & Home category and is developed by Naba.

What it can do

The remote layout is built around familiar TV controls, with directional navigation for menus and dedicated buttons for common media actions. A touchpad-style control can make it easier to move through streaming interfaces than using only a directional pad. Compatibility is aimed at TCL Android TV and Roku TV devices, with support for some older TCL televisions through infrared when the phone has the required hardware.

Connecting to the TV

For supported network-connected televisions, the phone and TV need to be on the same Wi-Fi network. The TV can display a PIN to confirm the connection, helping prevent an unrelated device on the network from taking control. Older infrared models depend on the phone itself having an IR blaster, so that part of the app is hardware-dependent.
